My heart hurts, and I’m stunned to learn of the passing of my friend, brother, and teammate, Ricky Henderson. He will be missed dearly. Ricky was not just an incredible athlete; he was truly Superman on the field, showcasing remarkable talent that both intimidated and inspired everyone who watched him play. His dynamic presence and relentless drive made him a fierce competitor, and I always hated playing against him. Yet, off the field, he was full of life—always smiling, joking, and connecting with those around him.
Ricky’s infectious energy and positivity made him a joy to be around. He had a unique ability to lift others up, whether it was through a simple word of encouragement or a well-timed laugh. He was more than just a teammate; he was a brother who stood by us through thick and thin.
As we navigate this profound loss, my thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones. We will forever cherish the memories we shared and honor his legacy. Ricky, you brought so much joy to our lives, and your absence will be deeply felt. Thank you for everything—you will always hold a special place in our hearts.
